Latin night. It can be good or bad. There are two dances that can point out weaknesses, samba and rumba. Is Brooke trying to wear the mirror ball? How many did she kill to make that dress?

Jacoby. A few too many places where Karina was spinning around him. It was entertaining but salsa is a club dance, there is technique but that's not the emphasis. I don't think it deserved 9's. The transition between positions were choppy. I'll agree with the scores.

Ingo. Hips were trying to move but were awkward. Too much of him standing in one place. I think he had heel leads in the rumba walks at the beginning.

Kellie. No bounce, she was on straight legs nearly the entire dance. No hips, but the steps didn't allow for it. Too many grapevines. I think Len and Bruno were watching a different dance than me. Too high.

Andy. Similar critique to Ingo. I'll agree with the scores.

Ali. I don't like the color combination of the costumes. That looked like it was thrown togeth…

It's done! I stayed up late last night to finish it. Which ended up being a little harder than I thought as part of the backstitching were not marked on the chart and I had to go off the picture. The entire right side of her dress and her mouth were not there. I'm going to send them an email on that.

I love pro numbers. Tonight's format makes it easy to compare how the celebrities should be doing things.

Ingo. His feet were sloppy and he got a bit lost during some of the side by side. His foot placement was strange during the lock steps. Kym's dress is interesting. I guess I'll agree with the scores, bit may be a little high depending on the rest of the competition.

Jacoby. He stepped through the dance. There was no bounce in the flicks and kicks and his feet were flexed. The performance was good. I don't know if it deserved 9's.

Victor. He gets pigeon toed at times. And at one point he seemed to be rushing through it. It wasn't bad, but it was an improvement over his paso. I'll give him the scores.

Ali. The choreography avoided a lot of moves that required the bounce. It just felt off from a samba. Too high. That was not a 9.

Sean. I felt as if the passes across the floor were really repetitive. He didn't do them badly. I don't know if it was…

I wasn't expecting Wynonna to go home last week. Either her fan base was smaller than I had assumed, or they were smart enough to not make her continue her misery.

Sean. The fog obscured his footwork a lot, which in his case is a good thing. I felt as if he was blank in expression. And he really doesn't know what to do with his arms when there has no specific choreography. I think the scores were a little high.

Victor. He didn't dance it as aggressively as he could. His legs felt lackluster when he did remember the steps. The rhythm of the song didn't help with the Paso feel. Scores are a bit high but I'll allow it.

Jacoby. Not bad. The song being odd for a foxtrot was distracting for me. I'll agree with the scores.

Ali. I didn't get enough emotion from her. I was eh about it. Scores were too high for what I saw.

Andy. They kept it simple and that was his best dance. His footwork wasn't bad in hold, out of hold, a little awkward. I like her dress. I…

I may not work on it too much this week as I want to crochet some of my summer tops.

Finals are coming up soon. I know there are two final projects that I should start working on, one for after effects, the other for video editing. All the while still trying to find an internship. I applied for another 10 today. Then I went shoe shopping.

Prom week. Apparently DL's fan base is bigger than I thought.
The group dance was interesting.

Ali. She swung her arm a little too much during the shadow position. Last week her frame seemed better. I didn't connect with this piece. I guess I'll agree with the scores. I would've gone a tad lower.

Andy. I have an outfit like Sharna's. Sharna danced around him. He did cuban breaks, and that's about it. And the first time he messed up. Too high.

Ingo. He looks like the 9th Doctor Who, Christopher Eccleston, with the leather jacket. I like Kim's dress, except the skirt. There are times when he stands still he loses the style in his body. There are some other strange things about that dance. I'll give it to them.

Lisa. It was a bit jerky, mainly in her arms. it should be fluid. There is no rise and fall in Viennese waltz, not enough time. I guess I'll give them the scores.

Kellie. Lots of kicks and flicks. But other then the drunken sailors there really…
